There have been mutterings of a backyard pizza shop in Kingston for years now. Intriguing tales of a dedicated family producing fine wood-fire pizza from their house had travelled across Canberra. We have discovered that yes indeed, these people do exist and their pizza is delicious.]]>
If you are keen on a challenge in 2012, maybe you should look at completing the Harley Lifecare Ability Cycle Challenge: a 450km ride from Canberra to Mt Kosciusko and return, certainly not for the faint hearted. Not only is it an amazing physical event, you can help raise valuable funds for Hartley Lifecare to assist ACT disabled residents and their families get a better quality of life. Here our guest blogger Belinda tells us how her ride went down in 2011.

It’s still light enough to enjoy a beer in the sun after work, so one thing is clear – summer is upon us. But that’s not the only thing that we’ve been waiting for, the amazing Renaissance exhibition has finally arrived at the National Gallery of Australia and the Verve Clicquot Sculpture Bar has reopened. There’s so much going on in this crazy town, we just can’t contain ourselves.
To celebrate we are running a competition. The prize? Two tickets to the Renaissance exhibition and a bottle of Verve Clicquot care of our wonderful friends at the Sculpture Bar. Imagine viewing the classics such as Raphael, Botticelli, Bellini and Titian then ducking out to the fabulous sculpture garden to sip champagne and chill out to some killer beats by local DJs. Belissimo!!!

In the near future I hope to embark on some art and craft classes in Canberra. Finding a good class appears to be half the battle and so here I give you a compilation of classes in and around the Canberra region.]]>
A Bite To Eat at Chifley shops is a bit of a Canberra institution, it’s been around for years. It has changed hands over time but the quintessentially vintage feel remains strong and it is like something you would find in Melbourne. It is jam-packed with mismatched vintage furniture which makes you feel like you’ve stepped into someone’s lounge room. It is extremely welcoming and you immediately feel comfortable.
]]>The 13th century was a dark time in Europe. When we think of the Middle Ages we (and by ‘we’ I mean ‘I’) imagine Medieval Knights slaying Dragons while damsels in distress waive silk scarves from atop towers. The reality is much darker…
]]>The weather’s warming up, and I’m beginning to feel a bit excited about the arrival of summer. Last summer was a massive wash out so I have decided to maximise the good times by preparing a summer bucket list.]]>
Canberra DJ turned producer Choc St Clair (Scott Cummins) has been a staple of the Canberra night scene for a while now and we were lucky enough to catch up with him over a beer for a chat about the music, 'the scene' and his up and coming release 'Blast Off' with the Dead Famous label.]]>
